At the request of Discontinuum officers, in early 2023, the Round Lake Area Park District installed a lost and found box at the Fairfield Disc Golf Course. Located at the park entrance next to the course map, the lost and found box has been used to return hundreds of discs to their owners!
Contact
Currently, the box is being managed by the Round Lake Park District. If you want them to check the current inventory of lost discs for you, they can be reached at 847-740-9822.
If your disc has your number on it, they will call you. If the disc doesn’t have ink, you’ll need to call them to check.
Tips On Getting Your Discs Back
First, ink your discs!!! 90% of all discs turned into the box with ink have been returned to their owners. If no ink, only about 20% of those discs are getting back to their owners.
Mark your discs with your phone number, clearly written in permanent marker.
Listing your email or PDGA# is not effective at all. Most people will not do extra work to return your disc.
People who find a disc with a name and number on it are far more likely to put it in the box. If the disc is clean, most folks will keep it if it’s a good disc.
Karma is real. The universe is much more likely to return your discs if you help out and return others!!!
